Wang Gen Sheng ate the food in his lunchbox very seriously, without wasting a single grain of rice. The last bit of oil, he mixed with a bowl of hot water and drank with it.
After eating, Wang Gen Sheng carried his lunchbox back to the dormitory alone. By the time he reached the cafeteria, it was almost dark, and it was pitch black outside when he finished eating. There were no streetlights on the road, so he had to feel his way back. Fortunately, the dormitory was not far from the cotton textile factory, only about a 10-minute walk.
When Wang Gen Sheng arrived at the dormitory, the door was open, and there was a light inside. Qin Huai's first reaction was that it was a burglar. He remembered Wang Gen Sheng's colleague saying that Wang Gen Sheng lived in a single dormitory without roommates, but Wang Gen Sheng seemed very calm and pushed the door open to enter.
